Write an expression for the number of days in w weeks.

I was wondering if it would be better to write a statement that 7d = 1w to quantify how many days there are in the week.  Then have the coefficient for W describing how many weeks there are.

The practice question (5) about the hours and days's answer is wrong.
It's 24y isn't it?
